[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

For Guo Chengjun, being able to enter the final is simply an unexpected surprise.The key point is that it was Gu Ran, the great demon king of this event, who was canceled by the referee.So far this season, he hasn't lost a single gold medal in the men's 500m. This time he was eliminated in the semi-finals.

When they saw this result, they were happier than winning the gold, especially Huang Zaixian.The last time he won a gold medal was the year before last, last season.

Without Gu Ran, Huang Zaixian seemed to have no worries, and felt that the 500-meter gold medal was already in his pocket.

Now their two opponents in the final are Canadian Curtis Johnson and the other is Meng Yuqiao.

Judging from past results, they would of course regard Curtis as their biggest opponent. As for Meng Yuqiao, he never even won a gold medal.

Similarly, after seeing Gu Ran's unexpected exit, Curtis also had thoughts about the gold medal.

After all, although Huang Zaixian is strong, he is not weak, nor has he never won.He even won against Gu Ran, what's so scary about Huang Zaixian?

Gu Ran sat in the stands, her eyes swept over everyone.Everyone wears helmets and goggles, and the whole body is tightly wrapped.

He can't see through other people's thoughts, but he must know what Meng Yuqiao is thinking.

On the contrary, Meng Yuqiao's skills are very good, not losing to those Korean players or European and American players, and his explosive power is also very good. During training, he can often achieve unexpected results for both coaches and teammates.

The reason why he hasn't won a gold medal until now is because he is willing to support Gu Ran.

Now that Gu Ran's grades have been cancelled, he will definitely use all his strength to compete with his opponent.

Meng Yuqiao is on the third pass, which is not an ideal pass for 500 meters.

Next to him is Huang Zaixian, and the second is Curtis.

Before playing, Xu Qing put his arms around his shoulders and said to him: "Try to grab the leading position if you can, and don't be discouraged if you can't. Keep calm and look for opportunities later."

Gu Ran felt that Gao Ziyi was the most calm person in the team, followed by Meng Yuqiao.Gu Ran only saw him get a little agitated when he mentioned the matter of He Yang, but at other times he acted like "it's none of my business".

The starting gun was fired, and the four of them fought fiercely. The referee directly stopped the game, and someone rushed away, and it was Meng Yuqiao.

He is in the third lane. This position is not ideal for him. He can only make up for the disadvantage in the lane by starting faster.

At this time, Gu Ran stood up. They were sitting at the front of the stands, they could step over the railing in one step, and then shouted at the field: "Sister Qiao, come on!"

Meng Yuqiao tilted her head slightly, obviously hearing his cry.

Cheng Sen and Xu Qing also turned their heads to look at him. The little guy, who was sullen just now, is now full of energy and started to cheer for his teammates. The two coaches showed an old father-like look of relief on their faces.

The race restarted and the starting gun sounded again.

For the first time, Gu Ran realized that standing in the stands and watching his teammates play was more nervous than playing on the court.

Huang Zaixian and Curtis are both his old opponents, and he knows how strong these two people are.But the more she knew, the more she hoped that Meng Yuqiao could win this gold medal.

At the start, Meng Yuqiao didn't get the first place, he didn't even get the second place.

Gu Ran heard his teammates behind him sigh softly. In the 500-meter race, he couldn't get a favorable position at the start, and it would be extremely difficult to turn the tide of the battle.

Gu Ran kept his eyes on the game on the court, he always believed that Meng Yuqiao had a chance to beat his opponent.

Huang Zaixian and Curtis competed fiercely, the former grabbed the lead skater position, and the latter was chasing after him.

After all, it is the last game of the season, and it is also their most promising game to win the gold. No one is willing to give up easily.

At the second corner, Curtis cut to the outside lane, trying to overtake Hwang Jae-hyun.

So the competition between the two began to be fierce, and they had physical contact with each other. You touch me, and I touch you.

In this case, the skating speed of both sides will be affected, but Curtis is relatively shorter and stronger, and the chassis is very stable, so he has an advantage in the confrontation and surpasses it.

Gu Ran glanced at the two of them, and then at Meng Yuqiao.

Meng Yuqiao followed behind the two, always looking for opportunities, ready to cut to outsiders at any time.

In the following laps and corners, Huang Zaixian and Curtis were competing with each other, neither of them convinced the other.

Just when entering the fourth lap, Meng Yuqiao's chance finally came.

The two people in front began to get anxious in the corner again. After entanglement for too long, both of them were a little impatient, pushing and shoving each other, making small movements with their hands.

Then, I don't know who pushed who first. In short, when they came out of the corner, the speed of both of them dropped significantly.

Sitting on the stand, Gu Ran's eyes widened in an instant, and she couldn't help saying: "Opportunity, sister Qiao!"

Meng Yuqiao on the field seemed to have heard his words, and immediately cut to the outside lane, and the continuous kicking made his speed increase visible to the naked eye, and he passed behind the two people next to him in the blink of an eye.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ran was even more excited than when he surpassed his opponent on the field.The surrounding audience was already very noisy, and the tense, exciting and passionate atmosphere fully set off.

But he still couldn't help shouting loudly into the arena: "Sister Qiao, be careful behind you, stop the route!!!"

Huang Zaixian and Curtis saw that they were fighting hard in the front, but they were overtaken by the Chinese behind.

The two stopped entangled with each other and started to chase Meng Yuqiao in front.

But at this time, there is only the last lap left in the race.From the beginning of the game, Meng Yuqiao was thinking about Gu Ran.

What would Gu Ran do, what timing would he choose to overtake, and what route would he choose to glide.

He seemed to be hallucinating, Gu Ran's voice seemed to be in his ears.He said: "Come on, Miss Qiao!" "Come on, Miss Qiao!" "Tighten up the route, Miss Qiao!"

The voice was so magical, the crowd was so loud that even if Gu Ran shouted something from the stands, Meng Yuqiao would not be able to hear it.

But now his mind is full of Gu Ran's voice, more eager than him, wanting to get this gold medal even more than him.

At the final crossing moment, Huang Zaixian and Curtis left and right, sandwiching Meng Yuqiao in the middle, and the three crossed the finish line almost at the same time.

Meng Yuqiao straightened her back, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the stands behind the Chinese team's coach bench, and a child jumped up with his hands raised high.

But at this time, the people next to them were still in a daze, unable to see clearly who won the championship.

Gu Ran patted her chest and said, "Trust me, sister Qiao is the champion!"

When he said that before, everyone thought he was joking.However, in short track speed skating, several people often cross the line at the same time, but the speed is too fast to be caught by the naked eye.

But every time Gu Ran would confidently say who the champion is, he could see it clearly, so he didn't need to watch the replay.

At first, everyone thought he was joking, but every time he was right.

Later, everyone had to believe that some people's dynamic vision is really so good. In their eyes, other people's movements are like slow motion, and they can see very clearly.

Soon, the results came out on the big screen. Meng Yuqiao No.1 had no suspense. Even though Huang Zaixian and Curtis chased up from behind at the last moment, they were still a step behind.

From the performance point of view, it's a little bit worse.

This 500-meter run exhausted Meng Yuqiao, and she was still panting when she walked out of the ice rink. When she returned to the coach's bench, Cheng Sen patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Good job!"

Meng Yuqiao herself didn't react violently, but just nodded.

He returned to the stands, still holding the helmet and skates in his hand, a figure rushed over from afar, threw himself into his arms and hugged him: "Sister Qiao, you are awesome!!!"

Meng Yuqiao felt a headache when she heard "Sister Qiao". The whole team called him Da Qiao, and Gu Ran used to call him that.But every time when handing in, Meng Yuqiao couldn't help correcting him and telling him to call him senior brother.

Later, Gu Ran didn't even call Da Qiao, and called him Sister Qiao in retaliation, saying that it felt like calling him Junior Sister.

Meng Yuqiao was holding the equipment in his hand, and couldn't free his hands, so she rubbed his hair with the corner of her forehead and said, "I'll take revenge for you."

Gu Ran patted him hard on the back twice: "The last lap and a half, the route was sealed so beautifully."

Meng Yuqiao hooked the corners of her lips, and this expression was considered a happy smile for him: "It's all thanks to you."

"Um???"

Gu Ran didn't understand how it became his credit.Meng Yuqiao added: "It's just you, chattering in my ear."

"what???"

Gu Ran was even more confused.

Meng Yuqiao put down the equipment, Gao Ziyi handed him a bottle of water, after drinking, Meng Yuqiao went to change clothes, but Gu Ran didn't change, so he dragged others to the locker room.

On the way, Meng Yuqiao explained: "During the race, your voice is in my head, telling me to overtake and tighten the line."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Coincidentally, I did say that, but the scene is so noisy, you shouldn't be able to hear it."

Meng Yuqiao said blankly, "That's my hallucination."

Gu Ran patted his chest with the back of her hand: "This is called a tacit understanding."

Meng Yuqiao couldn't help but raised the corners of her lips again: "Little bastard."

I don't know if it was affected by the previous day's competition. Gu Ran's performance in the 1000m final on the second day was very average, and he only took No.3.

In several relay events, the performances of several countries in Europe and the United States are also very eye-catching. The Netherlands, Italy, Hungary...these countries have very outstanding female athletes, and one person can lead a team.

Through Gu Ran's observation of this season, not only is the women's team strong, but the men's team is also gradually rising.

The Olympic cycle is only halfway through. First, the strong rise of the Chinese team, and then the gradual recovery of European and American countries. However, the former overlord South Korean team, now both the men's and women's teams are under severe impact, and the future is bleak.

The next Winter Olympics is less than two years away, and I don't know what it will be like then.

After returning to Beijing, Gu Ran was also reflecting on the game. He was sentenced to a foul in the 500 meters, and the cancellation of the result was unexpected.

After all, this kind of thing is nothing new in the field of short track speed skating.

The stronger the athletes, the more attention the referees will receive. The scale of each referee's penalty is very different, and there is nothing to do except admit that they are unlucky.

But the 1000-meter defeat is more worthy of reflection. First, he failed to adjust his mentality in time. Second, a wrong judgment on the race situation is likely to lead to the final defeat.

One day, during training, he suddenly made a joke with Xu Qing: "It would be great if all the athletes' hands could be tied up during the competition."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Are you being overwhelmed by the small actions of the Koreans?"

Gu Ran half-closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, then shook her head: "It's not just Koreans, in fact, many people have such luck."

"Short track speed skating allows a certain degree of physical contact, but it is forbidden to collide, push, and block opponents. However, this boundary is very vague, and the judgment standards of each referee are not consistent. Therefore, athletes dare to take risks and make big gains with small ones. "

Xu Qing didn't quite agree with what he said: "If you remove these things, it's not a short course. You see, Dao Dao doesn't need to tie his hands and there is no controversy and penalty. Last year we went to the Netherlands for foreign training, and the coaches are also very optimistic about you. I warmly invite you to transfer, are you going?"

Gu Ran had a look of wishing for it: "Okay."

Xu Qing quickly called Cheng Sen over: "Our child has a problem with his thinking, so he turned to the main road."

"Huh??" Cheng Sen narrowed his eyes, and looked at Gu Ran sharply, "What do you think you want to do?"

Gu Ran just laughed and said nothing.

Xu Qing didn't think it was a big deal as he watched the excitement from the sidelines, and repeated again: "He said he wanted to turn to the main road."

Cheng Sen thought for a while: "I think today's training volume is not enough, the whole team will add another [-] laps of technical skating."

Gu Ran said, "I will add it alone."

Cheng Sen stretched out his index finger and shook it twice in front of him: "The whole team!"

Gu Ran immediately changed her words: "Actually, I'm not interested in Dao at all. Director Xu is right. The charm of short track speed skating is to fight wits with opponents, fight skills and tactics, and fight physical fitness. I really like it, really Yes, I have only practiced short courses in my life, so I am in a hurry with anyone who asks me to practice the grand way."

Xu Qing patted Cheng Sen's arm twice: "Let's forget about [-] laps, everyone just came back from the race and needs to rest."

Gu Ran gave him a grateful look, and Xu Qing continued: "Let Gu Ran skate this hundred laps by himself."

"!!!"

One hundred laps is nothing to Gu Ran. He likes technical skating the most. It doesn't require physical effort, solidifies the foundation, and has enough time and energy to think, and no one bothers him.

Xu Qing is right, controversy and confrontation are the biggest charm of short track.If you just want to fight for speed, then practice speed skating.If you want to experience the double crushing from speed to wisdom, as well as team spirit, you have to go to short track speed skating.

They trained in Beijing for about a month, and the whole team flew to Vienna non-stop to participate in the last and most important competition of this season—the World Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships.

Gu Ran suffered a big loss in Dresden. He was originally a person with a strong desire to win, and he was also at the age of the most competitive. In the competition, which is a competition that fans all over the world are paying attention to, let out the anger that has been pent up in my heart for a month.

His level of effort is obvious to all, in line with the principle that if you don't die, you will die.The others had already changed their clothes and gone to rest, but he was still practicing round and round on the ice rink.

Sometimes, Yu Jie couldn't help persuading him: "Isn't it the college entrance examination, why don't you go back and read the books and brush up the questions?"

Gu Ran said: "You have to read the book, you have to brush the questions, and you can't miss the training."

Yu Jie was speechless to him, so she could only go to Fang Xiaoqi to get a nutritious recipe for the child.

When flying to Austria this time, Gu Ran didn't bring a single book with him. Apart from his equipment, there were some daily necessities in the suitcase.

On the plane, he was also uncharacteristically, he didn't read books, do quizzes, or play with his mobile phone, put on a blanket, put down the back of the seat, and go to sleep!

Cheng Sen asked Xu Qing: "Is he planning to lie flat?"

Xu Qing sneered: "Whoever lies flat will not lie flat."

"Then why is it so abnormal?"

Xu Qing turned his head to look at Gu Ran again. The little guy tilted his head and was already fast asleep.

"He held his breath in his heart, because he couldn't settle down to prepare for the college entrance examination."

Vienna, the capital of Austria, is the cradle of European classical music. Gu Ran had heard of the Golden Hall before, and this was his first visit here.

Gu Ran had a good night's sleep on the plane. From the airport to the hotel where they stayed, seeing those medieval Gothic buildings along the way, she was in a particularly good mood.

On the first day of ice training, he was in very good condition.I ran into the head coach of the Dutch team, Van Biya, and the old man trembled when he saw his beard, and he was very enthusiastic: "Xiaoran, how are you?"

Every time Gu Ran heard him call her name, she wanted to laugh, and when she hugged him, she also called out: "Director Fan, how are you?"

Fan Biya looked him up and down, and said seriously: "I have already started to feel sorry for other players."

"Ah?" Gu Ran tilted her head, "What are you sorry about?"

Fan Biao said seriously: "They have worked hard for a year of training, but they can only win a silver medal."

Gu Ran understood his humor, but she was not humble: "The silver medal is not bad."

Fanbia asked: "Do you like it?"

Gu Ran confidently revealed two dimples: "I only like golden ones."

Fan Biya nodded knowingly: "The Golden Hall is not far from here. After the game is over, you can visit it."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, I will definitely go!"

This is Gu Ran's first time participating in the World Championships. Compared with last year, he has registered for one more 1500-meter race.

In the six races this year, he won a silver medal in the 1500-meter race, and failed to make it to the finals twice. At other times, he mostly won bronze medals.

It is enough to see that his strength in this event is far inferior to that of 500 meters and 1000 meters. Male athletes from other countries, especially Yin Canyu, can only work harder on this event.

The competition is divided into three days, from ten o'clock in the morning to five o'clock in the afternoon, all games are played during the day.

The first day of competition was the preliminaries and quarter-finals of all events. Gu Ran successfully entered the finals of the three individual events.

This time, the men's team and the women's team only had six players, and Gu Ran was the only one who signed up for all competitions in three individual events and two relay events.

Gu Ran participated in too many competitions, especially on the third day, when she had to participate in four finals alone.

In order to maintain his physical fitness, generally speaking, before the 2000-meter mixed relay and men's 5000-meter relay finals, Cheng Sen usually let Liu Fei or Lin Jiaxi replace him.

Generally speaking, the qualification of each country is determined by the all-around performance of the previous World Championships.

Under normal circumstances, a country only has two places. As for which athlete to send to participate, this is up to each national team to decide, but it needs to meet the age limit of the International Skating Federation, that is, be 12 years old before December 31 this year. In addition, participating athletes cannot be suspended.

However, the Chinese team and the South Korean team have filled three places for each individual event.This is because at least one player from a country has won the final points, and another player has at least one of the top 16 all-around points.

The three people participating in the 500-meter individual competition this time are Gu Ran, Meng Yuqiao and Chi Lang.

In the past, Cheng Sen would give this spot to Liu Fei most of the time, and occasionally Chi Lang would take it.He believes that Chi Lang still has many shortcomings in terms of technology, and Liu Fei is more stable than him in the 500-meter race.

But through this season's competition, Chi Lang's progress can be seen with the naked eye, and his results have clearly surpassed Liu Fei.

Before coming, the team had a simple qualifying match.Chi Lang took third place in the 500-meter competition, and he won the 500-meter qualification.

Gu Ran happened to be in the same group as Chi Lang in the semifinals.They had three opponents, Curtis, Lee In-hyuk and a Dutch player.

"Alas..." Before going on stage, Gu Ran sighed.

Chi Lang looked at him in surprise: "You started to sigh before the game?"

Gu Ran shook her head: "I just feel it's a pity."

Chi Lang asked: "What's the pity?"

"It's a pity that the Korean kid didn't make it to the semi-finals."

"Korean kids?" Chi Lang was taken aback. The Korean team is their old rival. The two big players in the team, Huang Zaixian and Yin Canyu, are already in their twenties, so they shouldn't be kids.

Li Inhyuk and Kim Xuzhe are in their early twenties, and they are not children.

Zheng Minyu skates the middle and long distance, who else is there.

Gu Ran sighed again: "Your memory must have been eaten by a dog. I'm talking about that Guo Chengjun. I was canceled because of him last time in Dresden. I still want to take revenge today. It's a pity that he didn't live up to his expectations and didn't even make it to the semi-finals."

Chi Lang played with the helmet in his hand: "Actually, this year's competition is quite big. You see, there are a few contestants in the semi-finals that I haven't seen much before."

"You think that we are making progress, but other countries are also making progress. It's not surprising."

Meng Yuqiao, who was silent at the side, reminded them: "The first group is starting to enter."

Only then did Chi Lang put on his helmet and goggles, and walked into the arena with Gu Ran.

From the warm applause of the audience, it is not difficult to see that their group is quite interesting.

Although Gu Ran is young, his debut is the pinnacle. From the World Youth Championships to the World Cup and then to the World Championships, he has won the championships all over the place. He won four or five gold medals at every turn. First in the world, second in the world, in front of him Nothing.

The point is that he is not yet 17 years old. Strictly speaking, he has not yet reached the peak age of a short track speed skater. He can have such a terrifying dominance, which shows his status in the hearts of ice fans all over the world.

A month ago, his performance in the final match of the World Cup was not satisfactory, and he looked mediocre. I don’t know if he has adjusted now. Whether he can continue the strong performance of the four gold medals in the World Cup last year, we will wait and see.

Another thing to watch is Curtis Johnson, the famous Canadian player, who has been the second child for many years, but has not been able to win a gold medal in the World Championships.In this Olympic cycle, it was hard to compete with Huang Zaixian. Who would have thought that a talented young man would come out of nowhere. Now he wants to win a world championship gold medal, which is more difficult than reaching the sky.

There is also Chi Lang, who was the 1000-meter champion at last year's World Championships.Although the game was full of twists and turns, Gu Ran escorted him all the way, but he still has strength.

Then there is Lee In-hyuk, who can be regarded as one of the new generation of young Korean players with outstanding achievements.

The Dutch teenager also performed well in the European Championship this year.

In the five-player match, among them, Chi Lang, Lee In-hyuk, and Curtis are all the type with strong bodies and tough styles. Everyone wants to advance, and there must be many accidents on the field.

Sure enough, it exploded at the first corner. Chi Lang, Curtis and Li Inhyuk collided and flew off the track together, bringing down the innocent Dutch player along the way.Only Gu Ran who was in front of them survived.

When the referee's whistle sounded, Gu Ran was already out of the corner, so he could only step back, with his hands on his hips, looking at the four people on the sidelines who were on their backs.

Chi Lang was the first to stand up, and jumped onto the crash pad with both hands, asking the equipment technician to quickly adjust the skates for him.

Gu Ran lay on the side, and still had time to joke with him: "Who made the first move?"

Chi Lang shrugged and said that he didn't know: "I'm on the outside, and when they fell, I was taken out."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "What did Marco do wrong?"

Marco is that Dutch guy, and Gu Ran is quite familiar with their team.

The referee determined that no one was injured, and the game restarted.

After such a small episode, the expressions of the others looked a little dignified, and their nervousness could be clearly felt.

Only Gu Ran, with a smile on his face, looked very relaxed.

The race started again, Gu Ran did his part, leading the race at the start, no one could threaten him.

The people behind were still in a mess, and the four of them were vying with each other, and even Curtis couldn't stand out, so he could only get entangled with them.

But Gu Ran talked faster and faster, forming the first group by himself, and gradually distanced himself from the second group behind.

No one can pose a threat to him, so he just needs to show his fastest speed and slide forward heartily.

He felt that his speed had been fully pulled up, passing every corner smoothly, and every detail was handled to the extreme.

The strong wind whizzed by my ears, like a sharp knife, scraped on my face, causing a slight sting, which made me even more excited.

He was still used to wearing a pair of dark goggles, and the brightly lit arena darkened the moment he stepped onto the rink.He has no opponents in his eyes, no spectators, only the pure white track under his feet.

In the stands, the audience cheered louder and louder... Occasionally there was an exclamation, Gu Ran didn't know what happened, he was completely immersed in his own world.

When he entered the fourth lap, he seemed to see a few people standing on the sidelines. Only then did he realize that something must have happened on the field just now.

But he didn't want to be distracted at all from what happened, whether someone fell and who fell.

On the radio, a voice passionately reported the game in the local language. Gu Ran only understood her own name, and then the other party said it again in English, but Gu Ran still couldn't understand anything.

Now he only focuses on his own race, the last lap, the half lap, the last corner, crossing the line!

In the stands in all directions, countless spectators stood up, waving the flags in their hands, cheering and shouting frantically.In a semi-final, the atmosphere was even more passionate than in the final.

Gu Ran's speed was so fast that after the competition, he skated for two full laps before slowly stopping.

Looking back, Chi Lang is following behind him.

Gu Ran was surprised: "You..."

Chi Lang raised his eyebrows: "What am I?"

Gu Ran burst out laughing: "I thought you fell down."

Chi Lang said: "Can you expect me to order?"

Gu Ran dropped a fist on his shoulder: "Just kidding, I can see clearly, it was Marco who fell."

Chi Lang tugged at his wrist, pulled the man in front of him and hugged him, and said in his ear with a tone of survival after a catastrophe: "Fuck, I scared Dad to death!"

Gu Ran was almost killed by his cowardly and pretending appearance: "If you don't fall, you won't be able to enter the final, right?"

Chi Lang immediately defended himself and said, "If I hadn't reacted fast enough, I would have almost been brought down by the two of them, and I would have entered the final with my strength."

Gu Ran nodded obediently: "Yes, yes, you can enter the finals based on your strength."

He looked towards the sidelines, quite surprised: "Tsk tsk tsk, it turned out that the two of them fell out together, I thought..."

Chi Lang interjected: "You thought it was the Korean who did it, didn't you?"

Gu Ran nodded: "There is no way, their skill has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people."

Penalties and fouls in short track speed skating competitions are commonplace. Sometimes the players don’t realize it, and sometimes the speed is too fast and the distance is too close, which is unavoidable. But for the Koreans, it is intentional. .

Chi Lang said disdainfully: "The Koreans have no chance even if they want to foul, and there is me in the middle."

Gu Ran asked: "Then who made the move first?"

"do not know."

"You are behind them, don't you know?"

Chi Lang said: "The distance between them is so tight. It's not normal for them to push each other in order to compete for positions. I'm not a high-speed camera. How can I see clearly?"

While talking, the two slid towards the sidelines.The Dutchman was also standing there with his hands on his hips, anxiously waiting for the result of the match.

When Gu Ran and the others walked over, the other party offered to extend his hand to express his congratulations.Gu Ranhui held his hand and asked, "Are you not injured?"

Marco shook his head: "It's okay." His face really didn't care about his fall at all, but he was a little excited and joyful, "I think you are going to break the record!"

Gu Ran took off the goggles and blinked: "I feel the same way."

They communicated in English, Chi Lang couldn't understand, but seeing the Dutchman talking to Gu Ran so enthusiastically, he felt a little uncomfortable.

A strong and powerful arm rested on Gu Ran's shoulders, and the undulating lines of the muscles were deliberately recessed. He frowned, showing a look that he thought was cool.

At this time, the results on the big screen came out, Gu Ran was No.1 with a score of 39 seconds.

When Gu Ran saw this result, she was taken aback for a moment, then took another look, and then another look.

At this time, the ice fans in the stands cheered again, and the sound waves from all directions flooded the entire ice rink.

Gu Ran turned around, hugged Chi Lang, and screamed in his ear excitedly: "Ahhhhhh, Chi Dali, look, look, look! I slipped into 40 seconds, my first The first slide into 40 seconds!"

Chi Lang hugged him and was also happy for him. He patted his back and shouted with him: "I saw it, I saw 39 seconds 916, and broke the competition record."

Gu Ran threw it in his ear and shouted loudly: "I slipped into 40 seconds, the first time!!!"

"Yes, yes, good, good..." His arm was getting stronger and stronger, and Chi Lang felt a little short of breath, holding his arm and pulling it down, "You are going to strangle Dad."

Gu Ran quickly let go and looked at Chi Lang's score on the big screen: "41 seconds 310, son, do you still have time to practice?"

Chi Lang glanced at Marco next to him: "It's not bad if I didn't fall."

Marco stretched out his arms to Gu Ran again: "This is the speed of a genius, you are too fast, congratulations!"

"Thank you!" Gu Ran also briefly hugged him, and the two patted each other's shoulders: "Congratulations on entering the final."

The referee eventually penalized Curtis for a foul, so the 21-year-old Dutch player entered the men's 500-meter final for the first time.

Gu Ran and Chi Lang quickly put on their skates and walked out of the rink.Can't wait to come to the coaching bench of the Chinese team.

When they were talking on the sidelines just now, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing were like an old couple in the village looking forward to their son's return. The two stretched their necks eagerly.

The moment they saw the results, the two of them were even more excited than Gu Ran. They hugged each other tightly, almost crying.

Cheng Sen was a little incoherent with excitement: "It feels like a dream, it's not easy, and I'm more excited than winning the championship myself."

Xu Qing asked: "The time of 39 seconds 916 has never slipped out in the competition."

Cheng Sen said: "I skate the middle and long distance, and I haven't participated in the 500-meter competition much."

Xu Qing said with a smile: "I skate short distances, but I have never achieved this result."

Cheng Sen patted him on the back: "It's okay, the unfinished business of our generation of athletes, let them do it for us."

Gu Ran and Chi Lang were already standing beside them, looking at the scene in front of them, Chi Lang was surprised: "Oh, the old couple are so excited?"

Cheng Sen glared at him: "Say it again."

Chi Lang quickly pushed Gu Ran: "You three can hug and cry together."
